Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy said that he wishes to develop his constituency Kodangal by investing Rs 10,000 crore in the next five years. Addressing a district-level preparatory meeting of the Congress party’s ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ campaign at his residence in Kodangal on Saturday, March 29, CM Revanth said, “The CM’s chair will be for Kodangal for the next 10 years. Let us develop Kodangal significantly in this period.
” He said that development must take place to the extent that land prices increase by crores. Revanth said that the opposition leaders were restless after power was transferred to Kodangal from Gajwel, Sircilla, and Siddipet, referring to the constituencies of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and former CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, his son KT Rama Rao, and nephew T Harish Rao. He alleged that the opposition has “hatched a conspiracy to destroy Kodangal.
” “The opposition is trying to provoke some people here and stop land acquisition by creating a stir. It is my responsibility to provide jobs to the families of those who lost their lands in the establishment of companies in Kodangal,” CM Revanth said. Kodangal saw major protests last year over a proposal to develop a pharma cluster.
In November 2024, several government officials were attacked by residents in Lagacharla village when they arrived to conduct a public hearing on land acquisition for the pharma cluster. The Congress government retaliated by arresting sever.
